This invention relates generally to scraper buckets and the improvements are directed to a novel cutting edge associated'therewith.

Heretofore it has been the practice to provide the lip of a scraper bucket with a seriesv of tooth bases, each base carrying a digging tooth spaced longitudinally along said lip.

In the invention about to be disclosed it is proposed to provide a cutting edge formed from a single piece ofmaterial and adapted to be connected with certain tooth bases to extend across the forward longitudinal edge of a bucket.

The invention further contemplates the provision of a cutting edge 'of the-above 1n`en tioned character` which may befconnected to the standard forms of tooth bases and which Afeatures the advantages of convenient replacement and reversibility.

As will presently appear said cutting edge is uniquely formed to permitits connection wth the usual tooth bases `and adapted to withstand the hard. usage attending the operation of a scraper bucket.

With these objects in view, others which will appear as the description proceeds, t-he invention resides in they novel' formation, combination, and arrangement of parts, all as will be described more fully hereinafter, illustrated in the drawings, and particularly pointed out inthe claims.

In said drawings:

Figure 1 is a fragmentary plan View of a vscraper bucketembodying my invention.;

the cutting Fig. 2 is a partial plan view of edge removed from said bucket.

Fig. 3 is an enlarged sectional` view, taken substantially on the line 3 3 of Fig. 1; and Fig. 4 is a similar sectional view, taken on the line 4 4 of Fig. 1. Y

` Referring now in detail to the accompanying drawings, wherein like characters of reference denote similar partsthroughout the several views, let 5 denote generally the scraper bucket, said bucket including the lip portion 6, with which latter my improved cutting edge is associated.

As clearly shown in Fig. 1 said lip 6 is provided with a'plurality of forwardly directed tooth-bases 7, similar in construction,

together with side walls l19` and 20 1s-parallel and extending Alninating adjacent to the NroFFIcAE 4 ss-IGNOR 'rojrHE HAYWARD COMPANY, RnTIoN oFNnWYoRK Y andincluding va body portion' 8, embodyin Y jaws9 and l0, having a recess 11 therebeV tween for the-reception of the forward edge said lip 6, suitable fastening means 12 being employed to position saidbases `to2 said tions of each ofsaid ne a nose 13 whichf is a centrally'located recess 14, (see ofprojections 15 and Xtending rearwardly of said ynose porn'l vpair of recesses {17 andl 18the` of which, are "shown,

it is apparent that in ,Fromk the foregoing View." of the reversibilit y of my cutting. edge,

this particular part may give a much longer service and since the webs 29 and 30 extend between the jaws 19 and 20 of the toothbases a very substantial and rigid structure 1s pplvide ile the present is a disclosure of the preferred embodiment of the invention, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited thereto, as various changes in the minor details of-construction, proportion and arrangement of parts may be resorted to without departing from the spirit of the invention as dened in the appended claims.

I claim:

1. A detachable cutting-edge for a scraperbucket having a lip portion with a plurality of tooth-bases spaced apart, said edge having a plurality of rearwardly directed ears for attachment to said'tooth-bases, and also having webportions adapted to fill the spaces between companion tooth-bases.

2. A detachable cutting-edge for a scraperbucket having a lip portion with a plurality of tooth-bases spaced apart, said edge having a tapered nose portionland a plurality of rearwardl directedvears for attachment to said toothases, and top and bottom web portions adaplted to fill he spaces betweencompanion toot bases.

' f3. A detachable, and reversible cuttingedge for a scraper-bucket having a lip portion with a plurality oftooth-.bases spaced apart, saidedge having alplurality of web connected ears for attachment to a pluralityl ofltooth-bases, said edge also being provided with Vto and bottom web portions adapted to fill t e spaces between companion toothbases. i

l 4. rA detachable and reversible cutting edge for a scraper bucket including a lip portion, said cutting edge being substantially diamond-shaped in cross-section and having rearwardl directed web ortions adaptedto abut the orward edge ci) said lip.

5. A detachable and reversible cutting edge fora scraper bucket embodying a lip or` tion, said edge presenting inclined outer aces to define a cutting edge and having rearwardly inclined web portions adapted to abut theouter portion `of a lip, the upper face of web-connected of the edge to sai said edge having rearwardly directed, and ears to permit the attachment d tooth bases and having a tapered nose portion and tapering web portions directed rearwardly of the structure and v cooperating scraper to permit HE one Vof said web portions being in the 'same plane with the surface of said lip.

' 6. A cutting edge for a scraper bucket having a li portion, said edge being substantially diamond-shaped in cross-section andk presenting rearwardly directed web portions eooperatin with said lip portion to permit the reversi ilty of said cutting edge.

7. A cuttin edge comprising an integral structure, sai edge including means for attachment,` to a plurality of tooth bases and having upper and lower web portions iillingv the spaces between said bases.

8. A cutting edge adapted for attachment toa bucket scraper including tooth-bases,

with the lip portion of a the reversing of said edge. RMAN J. BRENDLIN.
